To Begin Again

Chapter 3

Grace's PoV/Flashback)

Grace had already met with Jake after he ran out, due to his delight of finally being able to walk again, and figured that he adjusted to his Avatar body rather well. Just as she was going to continue speaking to him and Norm, after he caught up with them, Grace started to wonder where Kagome was but figured the new girl stayed behind to further adjust to her Avatar body.

It was then that one of the staff members came running up to her, oxygen mask over their face to allow them to breath Pandora's toxic air. Their expression looked almost panicked but clearly worried.

"Grace!"

"What's going on?" Grace asked as her expression grew confused while Jake and Norm grew curious.

After the staff member caught their breath, he spoke up, "It's the new recruit, Kagome! She just suddenly collapsed and her human body's heart rate went through the roof and flat lined!"

"WHAT?" the look of disbelief crossing Grace's face. A thing like this has never happened before, so why now.

Grace ran until she was back inside in-front of Kagome's matching, she was still in her avatar too. She saw what she had no understanding of. A flat line. Kagome Higurashi was dead.

"What about her avatar?" Grace called out, she was trying not to panic. This is something in all her time here, has never accrued.

"She is still alive in her avatar body, but just unconscious." One of the doctor's informed her. Grace took a breath of relief.

"Alright then. All we have to do is wait for her to wake up." Grace said, voice even, thought it wasn't how she felt. She was still a little shaken up, but she couldn't let the others know that.

Sighing Grace made her way to the observation room, she was going to wait for Kagome to wake up. That is all she could do right now..

All she could do is wait.

Grace sighed, it had been about an hour since the accident with Kagome had happened, and she had yet to wake up. She had just left the room so she could grab something to eat and give Jake and Norm an update on what happened.

Grabbing a bowl of food Grace made her way to sit down. She was going hurry up and eat then make it back to the observation room. She gave a small smile as she sat down across from Jake and Norm.

"So how is she doing doc?" Jake asked, Norm and him had come back from their Avatars and were now worried on how their teammate was doing.

"I don't know yet, she has yet to wake up." She sighed, and took a bite of soup, she really wished she could tell them good news, but she couldn't. She really couldn't' say if she was alright until she woke up, and she didn't know when that would be.

"Grace!" A voice called out, making the three of them turn. It was one of the other doctors from the observation unit, "Kagome just woke up!"

Not needing to be told twice she got up and hurried to where Kagome was. She walked threw the door and was greeted with a confuzed Kagome.

"Kagome!" She yelled in relief, "Thank Heavens you're alright!" Grace sighed as she heard her mutter softly , "Dr. Augustine?"
